Answer 1

warrior

your a good friend you should buy me a stick

Answer 2

I would recommend the nike bauer one 90. It is more durable then the vapor x*x or XXXX. A kid on my team goes through the Vapor XXXX's like crazy. Last season he broke 5 or 6 (high school hockey). I use a one 70 and its lasted a full season and a half so far.  hockeymonkey.com or hockeygiant.com will have everything hockey. I have used both and they are great

Answer 3

Intermediate size and have it cut to size.

Sr is too big a handle, too big a blade, for a short player. It's a nice thought to get him a Vapor stick (personally though I prefer Easton) but can he afford to get another when it eventually breaks?

Answer 4

an original Sherwood, or one of the newer Baurs

These aren't that expensive... for a hockey stick. Hockey sticks themselves are all around pretty expensive.

Hint:dont get any stick that says it has a 'special grip',  'better puck handling', or anything like that, because chances are, it doesn't.

Answer 5

get and int size easton stick or a sr size bauer  stick

Answer 6

well I have a kookoobura and people say that its really bad but it actually isnt bad at all... yea well ask the shop assistant to assist you!
